Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: kiln firing, lillstreet, textures

I just love the range of colors in the flashing and the crusty build-up of the soda
on the bricks on the sides of the doorway. From the dark browns, through the reddish hues,
with hints of greens & turquoise going into the crusty whites. All created “naturally” by
the flames escaping through the bricked kiln door and leaving their mark along the way.

And the somewhat “lunar” textures of the back wall bricks from the intense soda build-up
from firing after firing of the Lillstreet Art Center soda kiln.
